The Dispossession Project

The MTAG team are producing a series of resources exploring the relationship between Christian mission and social justice. You will be able to explore 16 different resources for every topic using text based resources; activities, such as research, looking at images, listening to music, watching films or cooking a meal; bible studies, prayers and songs; and spirituality based things to do such as repenting, gift giving, following Jesus and comparing your thoughts with those of others.

You are invited to challenge yourself to find out more about each topic and to see if your exploration motivates you to change in any way.

The first resource is on the fifth mark of mission - our task of looking after God's planet.
